While I can understand your perspectives and viewpoints Bourne, I still don't agree with holding a bias and being judgmental towards the classes themselves simply because you've encountered lackluster players. I've seen some pretty terrible tanks and healers, as well as other DPS, where the only contribution that they made towards the group was death. It's not the job or class that's the problem, it's the player behind it...and why should other people be accounted or suffer for some stranger's mistakes.
